Chapter 732: Chapter 729: Awe

Regarding Lin Tian’s question, the girls looked at one another, unsure of its implications. Anti-inflammatory drugs were far too common, but who would pay attention to what they truly were?

"Senior Lin Tian, what do you mean?" the girls asked.

"Anti-inflammatory drugs are also called antibiotics in our country," Lin Tian didn’t let them ponder for too long and explained, "The harm of misusing antibiotics is something I believe you all understand without me having to say it; it’s been heavily reported in the news."

"When you go to buy medicine, if the package is labeled with the specific name of an antibiotic, everyone tends to resist because most people are aware of the dangers of misuse. But when it’s called an anti-inflammatory drug, almost no one pays attention to this issue," Lin Tian said.

"Many students, when they catch a cold or something, have been to both small clinics and big hospitals. They find that the medicine from small clinics is more effective and works faster than that from big hospitals, leading many to believe that the hospitals are deliberately delaying treatment to make more money."

"I won’t deny that such cases exist, but in reality, it’s often because the medicine prescribed by small clinics is very strong—meaning they use potent antibiotics, so patients recover quickly."

"As for big hospitals, because there are strict regulations on the use of antibiotics, the bigger the hospital, the stricter they are about antibiotic use. The medicine they prescribe is milder, using less or no antibiotics, and relying more on the human immune system, which means the illness takes several more days to heal."

Lin Tian paused to let everyone digest what he had just said, before continuing, "I’m not denying the effects of antibiotics, but using them excessively can cause pathogens inside the human body to develop resistance. As these pathogens become more and more resistant, the result is that even a minor infection could become untreatable."

"I see now, like with Senior He Mengxiang, if her condition is not particularly serious, she shouldn’t be using antibiotics, Senior Lin Tian, is that right?" Chen Xiaorou looked at Lin Tian with an expectant face, obviously hoping for his praise.

Lin Tian, who was always generous with his compliments towards both beautiful and intelligent girls, gave Chen Xiaorou a thumbs-up and praised, "Xiaorou isn’t just beautiful, but also very smart. What you said is exactly right, that’s what I meant to say."

Receiving Lin Tian’s praise, the young girl became somewhat shy, her cheeks flushing red. Meanwhile, Lai Xiucheng’s expression turned sour, his previously arrogant demeanor nowhere to be seen.

With his words, Lin Tian pointed out the serious issues in Lai Xiucheng’s prescriptions. Prescribing strong medications is a habit for some clinic doctors, not only does it heal the patients quickly but also makes people think highly of the doctor’s medical skills, a win-win situation in terms of fame and wealth. However, these patients are unaware of the consequences behind it.

"If we shouldn’t misuse antibiotics, why does Doctor Lai still use them?" a girl questioned curiously.

"You can ask him," Lin Tian directed the attention towards Lai Xiucheng.

All eyes turned to Lai Xiucheng, waiting for his explanation, but he only managed to open his mouth a few times, unable to articulate a reason.

He actually had no reason, it was a matter of prescription habit, a long-standing lack of regulation by relevant authorities had accustomed him to using strong medications.

In his view, as long it cured the patient, nothing else mattered, and besides, he was just a school doctor with limited skills. Without antibiotics, he didn’t even know how to treat patients.

"Doctor Lai, weren’t you very confident in your Western medicine just now? Why are you silent now?" Lin Tian said with a faint smile.

Lai Xiucheng felt awkward but still stiffened his neck and said, "I admit, there might be some minor mistakes in the prescription, but they don’t lead to the severe consequences you’re talking about."

"Hmph!" Lin Tian snorted coldly and retorted sharply, "Just minor mistakes? Is this how your teachers taught you when you were in medical school? Don’t you know that even a minor mistake can endanger a patient’s life?"

"Lin Tian, stop sensationalizing here. Can you only criticize others? Show us what you’re capable of, everyone can talk big, can’t they?" Lai Xiucheng said angrily.

"I’m just telling you, as a doctor, a patient’s safety is paramount, not whatever is convenient for you; that’s what a negligent quack would do," Lin Tian spoke bluntly.

"Senior Lin Tian speaks so well, he should really teach those quacks a lesson," a girl praised.

"Right, to study medicine, one must first learn to be human," other girls echoed.

"Lin Tian, don’t just criticize others. I want to see if your medical skills are as sharp as your tongue," Lai Xiucheng stopped rebutting and assumed Lin Tian was incapable in medical practice, clinging to this point as he still didn’t believe a senior high school student could have much medical expertise.

Lin Tian looked at him, silently chuckled, and felt it was ridiculous to compete with such a person. However, as Lai Xiucheng belittled Huaxia medicine, Lin Tian couldn’t help but want to prove something.

He looked around at everyone and said seriously, "Doctor Lai, whether you practice Western or Huaxia medicine, as long as you’re still a person of Huaxia, flowing with the blood of the Huaxia Nation, even if you don’t aspire to glorify Huaxia culture, at least maintain a reverence for the civilization our ancestors created."

"It’s not about fearing any individual or organization, but about the awe for the undying Huaxia civilization spanning thousands of years!" Lin Tian enunciated each word powerfully, hammering them into everyone’s hearts like thunder, profoundly moving!

The room fell quiet for a moment; Principal Yan softly repeated Lin Tian’s last sentence, his face filled with emotion. As a principal, he deeply resonated with those words.

"Applause..." Not sure who started, someone began to clap vigorously, and soon the applause swelled to fill the room. The glittering eyes of the girls reflected Lin Tian’s figure, as if he were a towering figure bathed in dazzling light.

Lin Tian no longer paid attention to the dazed Lai Xiucheng, rolled up his sleeves, flicked his wrist, and the gold wire on his wrist writhed like a spirit snake before settling into his large palm.

This magical scene made all the girls gasp; they stopped clapping, staring unblinkingly at Lin Tian’s actions.

This peculiar Golden Needle, even seasoned doctors might not recognize it, let alone these teenage girls with little life experience.

"What is Senior Lin Tian doing?" a girl whispered quietly.

"I don’t know, but it must be related to healing, right? The way he moved just now was so cool," another girl said slightly infatuated.

Aside from Liu Wenxing, who had seen this gold thread and was aware of its purpose, no one else knew what Lin Tian was about to do.

"He Mengxiang, I’m preparing to treat you with acupuncture, which requires no medicine to cure your illness. Are you willing?" Lin Tian asked He Mengxiang.
